Lock your doors, warn police after break-in

Keep your doors locked at all times - police have warned residents after a break-in at a house in St Alban’s Road.

The contents of a handbag were taken overnight last Monday after an intruder got into the home through an unlocked door.

A police spokesman said: “Over a third of all burglaries are through the house-holder leaving their door unlocked, we know you should be able to do this, but sadly opportunist thieves are always looking for an easy target.”
